A friend of mine has invited me to compose for some
videos he's planning
on making. We haven't started yet, but I thought it might be good to be
a bit ahead, especially since I haven't done this before and I know next
to nothing about video...
The noise making apps will be running ontop of jack. Google suggest I
should look into xjadeo with the -i switch. Is that it? Anything
(formats, codecs, framerates, interlaces other-stuff-I-dont-get) that I
should ask for or try to avoid?
Any input, including links, tips, thoughts, would be highly appreciated!
I've been exploring the world of Linux-based NLEs for a while, perhaps
you'll be interested in these articles:

A profile of CinelerraCV will be up soon. I'm also putting the finishing
touches to profiles about Blender, PiTiVi, OpenMovieEditor, Avidemux,
and Kino.
At what stage(s) are you involved ? Will you only be composing the music
or will you be involved with the audio/video post-production ? The music
composition part isn't so tough, the post-production can be rather
bewildering. You'll select different formats and options to accommodate
your intended targets, and target formats depend on purpose and
residence, i.e. is it a polished demo for a DVD, a low-res clip for
YouTube/Vimeo/Facebook/self-advertisement-tool-du-jour, a DV file
destined for a camcorder tape, or ... ?
